When travelling, you are always looking out for deals, discounts and budget hacks.
But, have you ever wondered how much do you spend on your Telephone Bills while Travelling?
It might come as a surprise to you when you get to know that you are spending 82.5% more than the normal rate.
Normally, a Service provider charges around $20 per month to keep your cell phone number reserved with no plan. Moreover, International Roaming charges vary from $1.00 per minute all the way up to $2.99 per minute.
Wait, there is a solution for this.
The solution is Virtual Telephone Numbers. With Virtual Numbers, you can park your cell phone numbers for as low as $5 per month. There is no International Roaming when it comes to Virtual Telephone Systems. The call rates are same, irrespective of wherever you are.
Virtual Telephony Systems are not only beneficial for the professionals but also find better implementation in personal lives.
Besides monetary benefits, Virtual Telephone Systems have a lot to offer. Here are various other benefits of adopting the new technology :
● Number Portability
Transferring your Phone number from your current service provider to a new Service provider is Number Porting. Here are some biggest advantages of number portability with a Virtual Telephone System:
➢ You get to keep your existing phone number
➢ You can avail better set of services when your number is ported to a different and better service provider

Travellers love to travel light. Virtual Numbers do not need an additional mobile device to set-up, they can ring to any existing phone, tablets or even desktops! All you need is Internet connectivity.

Perennial Internet Connectivity is not a requirement. You don’t need to worry about missing out on important messages and phone calls because of your VoIP provider stores all your voice messages and call history. All in the cloud.
With features like Call Forwarding, you can even have your calls routed to your new/temporary numbers without letting anyone know about it.

If you are an entrepreneur who does not want to see his business suffer due to your passion for travelling, then a Virtual Number can be your saviour. You can keep your business up and run with the Call Forwarding feature. You can have your business line(the Virtual Number) forwarded to a local phone number for low per-minute rates. Or, you can answer/make the calls whenever and wherever with Virtual Number as long as you are connected to the Internet.
